That's not necessarily true now the newer systems can go to as low as -15F which in the north only happens for a few hours a year so still a reduction in heating gas/oils needed

    ...which in the north only happens for a few hours a year...

    I know the guy in the TC video used Chicago as an example but the "few hours a year" thing simply isn't true for many of us.

    Where I live we had many days below -15f including a week where itpretty much stayed between -20 and -30 for nearly a week straight.

    A Heat Pump will still work, even here, but you need to be careful about which one you purchase and how it handles cold weather.
